The Farmers' Fair was inaugurated
at the Nebraska College or Agrlculturu
In 191G. Tho second fair was hold in
the spring of 1920. Tho most common
questions asked about this project
are; What is a fanners' fair, and
why is it held? The first and second
fairs held at Nebraska were patterned
after the annual fair at Missouri which
was the first institution to have such
an event. Missouri has held a fair
each year since 1907.
Briefly a farmers' fair as put on at
Nebraska is an advertising campaign
launched for the purpose of telling the
people of the state about the work
and possibilities of the greatest Indus
try of this country, agriculture. The
Farmers' Fair Is hold because It is a
great fun-fest for the Ag students and
it gives them training in responsibility
and initiative to carry on big ideas
and projects. It is planned and car
ried out entirely by the students of
the Agricultural College, although the
faculty aid with their moral support
and freedom of the use of depart
mental equipment.

of parade that is staged prior to the
opening show. So fit Is with the
Farmers' Fair, but the Farmers' Fair
pairade held last year was only a good
suggestion of what was in store for
the visitors at the Farm. A parade
over a mile long made its appearance
on O street about noon. Led by the
University band it paraded before the
largest crowd ever assembled on the
sidewalks to witness a student func
tion. Gorgeously decorated floats
from each department followed In or
('er of their size and merit. The
test examples of horse-flesh in Lin
coln were drafted into use to pull the
various floats. Numerous trucks,
tractors, and automobiles endeavored
to show the modern method of loco
motion and power used by our gentle
friend, the farmer. There were freak
floats sandwiched in between the do
na rtment floats to add variety to the
parade. Prominent student and fac
ulty members got their share of pub
licity in the stunts put on by these
freaks. The Rube police force and
band added color to the train of spe
cialized advertising agents for the
oreat 1020 Farmers' Fair.
